crude petroleum would not be adequate to meet essential demands this winter unless there was an immediate and drastic reduction In current consumption. "Now, therefore," Ickes said. 'I do hereby recommend that the use and consumption of motor fuel in the states of Maine, Ver mont, New Hampshire, Massa chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey; Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and the District of Columbia, im mediately and until further no tice be voluntarily curtailed by 13 per cent by all except those engaged in national defense activities or services essential to health and safety." CAR OUTPUT HALVED The program for passenger au tomobiles and light trucks calls for an output of aDDroximatelv 200,000 a month throughout the next 12 months. Because retool ing of plants for new models will interfere with production during August, a lumn sum out' put of 600,000 cars for the three months beginning with August will be permitted. This is to be followed by a leveling out to the 200,000 monthly figure in November.

The curtailment to approxi mately 2,400,000 vehicles in the new model year compares with expected production of around 5,289,000 this year. Henderson asserted that the automobile, refrigerator, and laundry machine industries were either the largest or close to the largest civilian consumers of the scarce metals. During recent months auto mobile production has been about 20 per cent above the comparable period last year, officials said. Refrigerator production showed 21 per cent increase, and washing machines and ironers were up 18 and 80 per cent respectively. Production of household me chanical refrigerators would be limited under the program to a maximum of about 150,000 monthly.

The initial 30 per cent reduc tion in laundry equipment, Henderson said, "will be followed by more stringent cuts." Read Ernie Pyle The Roving Reporter On Page 6 Today Features Saving Time in State states in which a reduction has In his capacity of defense pe troleum co-ordinator, Ickes made the request in a communication to the governors of 16 Atlantic seaboard states, the commissioners of the District of Columbia, oil companies operating in the east, and other affected agencies. A tentative program cutting production of automobiles, mechanical refrigerators, and household laundry equipment as much as 50 per cent during he next 12 months was announced yesterday by Leon Henderson, administrator of prices and civilian supply. It calls for cutting automobile output for the next three months 20 per cent under that of the comparable 1940 period and for a 50 per cent reduction thereafter. Household mechanical refrigerator production would be cut 50 per cent. Domestic mechanical and washing machines would be reduced initially by 30 per cent under the Average for the last 12 months.

PATRIOTIC DUTY "It has become the patriotic duty of everyone in the states affected by the impending shortage of petroleum products to reduce their consumption of such products," Ickes said. "Loyal Americans, in view of the seriousness of the situation, will co-operate." On ways of attaining voluntary conservation, Ickes said: "A substantial part of the necessary reduction can be achieved by the adoption of conservation methods such as correcting faulty motors, driving at reasonable rates of speed, the use of but one automobile instead of several by those who drive to and from work, when they live and work in the same general areas, and the elimina-. tion of wasteful practices generally." The co-ordinator already had disclosed the ration card system was under study because of the eastern coast oil shortage arising from transfer to British service of some tankers normally' used to transport oil from Gulf to Atlantic coast ports. On the basis of information from government agencies and the petroleum industry, Ickes said yesterday he had found that: 1. The dally average shipment of petroleum and petroleum products from the gulf coast to the Atlantic seaboard had declined substantially, and that further declines were an-V ticipated 2.

Existing supplementary 'transportation facilities could make up only a part of the deficiency and certain contemplated new transportation facilities would not be ready until 1942. S. The trend of consumption of petroleum products in this area was upward. 4. As a result of these factors, the usual seasonal increase In stocks to meet the heavy winter demand was well below the normal rate, and the stocks of industrial fuel oils, domestic heating oils, motor fuel, and 33 a TALLAHASSEE (IP) night declined to put daylight saving time into effect in Florida as a defense power-saving move because tjie state's electric power plants now are "producing much under their capacity." In a letter to President Roosevelt, who last Tuesday requested the time change for eight southeastern states, Holland said daylight" saving time "would involve substantial losses to public and private power establishments, to trans IS.

"You refer, ot course, to tne shortage of water power in the southeast due to drought. You state the hope, in which I join you, that emergency transmission connections will shortly make it possible to deliver any excess power from one region to another.

"I have made a quick but comprehensive survey of electric power production and consumption in Florida and the following facts are, it seems to me, established: "1. The only part of our slate which depends upon hydroelectric power is in extreme west Florida, where power is brought in from the so-called Alabama-Georgia pool. In this part of the state daylight saving time Is already in effect, and nothing would be accomplished there by the Issuance of a state-wide order. "2. The rest of the state depends upon public or private power plants where some generating power other than water power Is used, generally oil.

These power plants are built to make available the peak loads which are consumed during the winter season in January, February and March, and much less than peak loads are See HOLLAND, Page 2, Col. 6. 10:30 p.m. by' John Bolger of Dunedin floating face down in the gulf two miles northwest of Johns pass.

7, mr jJMlA6UAYl LyfuRUGUAY Chinese sources in Chungking, China yesterday said they expected a new Japanese military move within a fortnight, with opinion divided as to whether invasion of Siberia or further penetration of Indo-China would be the objective. Here are three important members of Japan's newly reorganized cabinet. Teijiro Toyoda (upper left), a retired vice admiral, is foreign minister. Adm. Koshiro Oikawa (lower left, was retained as navy minister.

Lt. Gen. Eiki Tojo (right) continues as war minister. Whatever the move may commented a Chinese foreign office spokesman, "it will affect the interests of China, Britain, the United States and Russia in other words the security of the Pacific." The spokesman attributed the fall of Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye's second cabinet to "economic difficulties and the political chaos caused by four years of war with China."

Ordered Out Govtntmtnr Dtfeleivs Statt of Sits LA PAZ, Bolivia UP) The Bolivian government pro- claimed a state of siege last night and ordered the German minister to leave the country within 48 hours in a swift move to suppress what informed persons called a threatened Nazi The government announcement said the siege decree waa to thwart "a revolutionary attempt being plotted by groups with totalitarian tendencies." Although the government did not directly link the two actions simultaneously with the declaration or a state of liege It announced that the German minister, Ernest Wendler, had been declared person non grata at a cabinet meeting yesterday afternoon and was ordered to get out of Bolivia within two days.

The announcement did not mention the other members of the embassy staff, but usually well-informed persons said it was believed they likewise would be expelled. UNCOVER REVOLT PLOT Informed sources said the gov ernment had uncovered evidence that a Nazi putsch was being prepared by subversive elements. Police authorities took precau tionary measures to maintain order throughout the republic, and official reports said the sit uation was "tranquil every-wherev. Armando Arce, director of the newspaper La Calle; Augusto Cespedes, assistant director, and Carlos Montenegro were reported detained by the government. Minister of DefCie Gen.

Miguel Candla said the army was not Involved in the subversive activities. Bolivia has had somewhat sim ilar troubles several times in the past, but has not attributed them as clearly to Nazis as in the present case. Last May 21 it -was announced that steps had been taken to sup press "totalitarian" action. President Enrique Penaxanda last October had decreed amnes ty for various political offenses in an announced attempt to unify the country. This followed a clash in La Paz last July between leftists and alleged Fascists in which one person was killed and several were wounded.

March 26, 1940, the government put down a revolt by an army regiment which government sources said had been aimed at assassination of the then President Carlos Quintanllla and President-elect Penaranda. Bolivia Bided Timt To Suppress Revolt BUENOS (ff) Bolivian Ambassador Adolfo Costa Durels said last night reports that the La Paz government had decreed a state of siege to prevent subversion linked with Nazis was "not unexpected." He said the Bolivian government had been biding its time and apparently struck the right moment. Costa Durels told an Inquirer that many Germans had been arriving recently in Bolivia. Travelers from Bolivia in recent months have told of German activity throughout the country, including the interior mining See BOLIVIA, Page 8, Col. 5.

111. Of Country Moscow Road Is Opened Soviet Ready to Blow Up Baku Oil Fields 24-Hour Roundup Germans declared last night that the "western gate" to Moscow had been opened by the thrust of a Nazi spearhead past Smolensk, while the Russians talked of a great continuing battle and implied that the eastward drive of Hitler's legions had been held up. In the land operations, fierce battles were reported by the Russians to be racing with unabated fury under drenching downpours of rain in the Polotsk-Nevel- Smolensk triangle on the Moscow front. 235 miles west of the capital. It was in those general sectors.

the approaches to Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev, that the Russians reported fighting in progress previously. Troop Ships Sunk In addition, the Soviet informa tion bureau said Russian bomb ers and torpedo boats had de stroyed German troop transports and a tanker in a great raid on a Nazi convoy in the Baltic sea. Premier Josef Stalin further tightened his personal control of Russia's military effort by assuming the post of defense commissar, a position held since May 8, 1940, b- Marshal Seme-on Timoshenko. The marshal, credited largely with modernization of the Red army and newly placed in active command of Russia's western front, was made deputy commissar. The Germans, in claiming that the road to Moscow now lay comparatively open, represented destruction of the Red army as a more immediate objective than capture of the Soviet capital.

A possible explanation of the stated German disdain for Moscow might be this: An Istanbul informant an Axis diplomat who left Moscow just before the conflict started said the Russians were holding 4,000,000 troops in reserve, behind Moscow, ready for a sharply, timed counter-offensive. The Red army on the central front, it was reported, is fighting a bitter retiring action to give reserves time to assemble in battle positions. Marshal Semeon Timoshenko, in charge of Red forces on the Moscow front, was believed to have kept his armies intact thus far despite the fury of the Ger man drive.

CONSTANCE SUin? 1 1 i 1 F. D. R.

Six of the eight stales to which the president appealed for establishment of daylight time, which Is one hour tatlier than standard time, have made the change.

Only the governors of Florida and Georgia have declined. Holland said the slate defense council has tentatively agreed with his stand, but that he has asked the organization to study the problem further at its meeting here next Friday.

I 1 1 1 A actment of the legislation could not be postponed with safety What line of approach the president will take was. of course a closely guarded secret, but some were disposed to think that he might urge the declaration of a state of national emergency by congress, as a basis for retaining the men in the Army after the year for which they were inducted originally.

The White House announced the appointment of a six-member committee to investigate complaints that negroes seek ing jobs in defense industries and in the government were the objects of discrimination.
